Three In Custody In Connection With This Morning's Murders: Ald. Osterman

Last night, around 2:15 am, two individuals were shot and killed on the 5000 block of Winthrop Avenue. We believe this to be a gang-related conflict. Three individuals are currently in custody in connection with this incident and the investigation is continuing.

We will be gathering more details as they become available, and will provide an update in Friday’s newsletter.

If you have any information that can assist the investigation, please contact Marko Zaric in my office at 773-784-5277 or Marko@48thward.org or call Area North Detectives at 312-744-5277.

If the "Argyle corridor," as Ald. Osterman insists on calling it, is ever going to attract more upscale (less downscale?) shoppers, something has to be done about Mercy Housing, at the corner of Sheridan and Argyle, and those two former SROs--now allegedly some sort of "program"--just north of Argyle on Kenmore.
